Cowhick & Whitcomb have now deter
mined to completely clean out their stock
by Sept. |. This will give them about
fifteen days time in which to close out,
and in order to accomplish their purpose
prices will be dropped away below the
figures at which goods have been sold
during the past few days. Great bar
gains may yet be secured. This applies
particularly to dress goods and shoes for
ladies and gentlemen. Those in need of
anything in these lines would do well to
call at once while much yet remains to
select from. The prices will surely aston
ish them.

KILL THE FATTED CALF.
The Lost SON Have Returned From
the Far West.

Three young boys, named Morrison,
Grail and McCullom, last week concluded
ITO run away from home. Their parents
treated them well and they seemed to en-
JOY life, but Cheyenne evidently became
too prosalc for their exalted ideas of free.
dom and a high old time generally. At
first they seemed to have an unconauer-
able hankering to emigrate to Montana
and slaughter red men by the score.
Then they thought it would be a grand
scheme to travel through Nebraska, pick
W a few horses, deer and buffalo, start a
Wild West show and make Bison William
wonder if living was worth the struggle
to cope against opposition. They finally
compromised on a plan to monopolize the
coal supply of the world. By arduous
figuring, with a Davies arithmetic and an
American Statistician as auxiliaries, they
ascertained that the revenue of the coal
mine owners of the United States was
$500, 100000 annually, which was ac-
cumulated by manipulating the output
of %, 900 mines. 1t would be a brilliant
stroke to gain control of the coal fields for
a single year, at the end of which time
each of the shrewd trio could defy
society, laws and everything else with
1925, 900, 900 in cold cash. They pro-
posed to lease the mines in the various
states for one year, with the privilege of
extending the time to five years.
Thoroughly imbued with the ease
with which this great undertaking could
be accomplished, the youths selected the
Carbon miues of the Union Pacific com
pany in Carbon county as the property to
first De captured by the syndicate. They
experienced no trouble in reaching the
camp, ana in less than twenty-four hours,
after registering on the outside of the
water tank, had negotiated with several
residents of the place fora meal, but
were unable to secure an interview with
the superintendent of the mines, with
whom they now f~ervently desired to en-
gage as mule drivers.
The boys returned home yesterday
morning, and probably ere this are recov-
ering from the caresses of their parents
